ESET NOD32 vs Malwarebytes

Hi , we currently have ESET NOD32  installed in our  computers  , would it  be  a good  idea to install MalwareBytes (MBAM) as well or would it compromise the performance of  our  systems ?

It's hard to say for sure until you try it. MalwareBytes program files can be excluded from Eset's attention but its processes are a bit trickier to manage.

Why not try installing MalwareBytes on a just a few computers and see what feedback you get? Users will soon tell you if performance takes a dive...
It is not always true, but having two Anti Virus engines real time together can cause issues. I do not do this.

Install your A/V of choice and keep Malwarebytes installed if you wish but not real time. Use Malwarebytes if you need to do a second scan.

Collect virus samples and submit it to VirusTotal. This way you can see what AV would have detected the malware and then you can make an informative decision.
